Day 15 of the Dotique Advent Calendar: NEW BRAND JOULES

Dotique Advent Calendar – Day Fifteen: Win a Joules Edie Bag – and Our First Ever Joules Announcement

Today is a very special day in the Dotique Advent Calendar — one we’ve been quietly looking forward to sharing for months.


For Day Fifteen, not only can you win a Joules Edie Shopper Bag (RRP £42), but we are finally announcing something we’ve been working on behind the scenes:


✨ Joules is coming to Dotique — in Chesterfield and online ✨


Yes, really. A brand so many of you have asked for. A British favourite known for its countryside heritage, beautiful prints, timeless quality and wearable everyday pieces. And now, it’s becoming part of the Dotique family.

We could not be more excited.

Why Joules? Why Now?

At Dotique, every brand we bring in has to tick three boxes:


Quality, longevity and customer love.

And Joules does all three, beautifully.


For years, customers have asked, “Do you stock Joules?” — in store, online, and on social. It’s one of those brands that holds a special place in British wardrobes. Practical but stylish. Classic but modern. Playful but grown-up. 


It appeals to women who want pieces that last, feel good, and work for real life — school runs, dog walks, weekends away, countryside visits, work… everything.


Joules fits seamlessly into the Dotique world because it reflects so much of what matters to us:

  • timeless style instead of throwaway trends

  • quality fabrics that wear beautifully

  • easy, everyday pieces made to be lived in

  • colours that feel uplifting

  • British design with personality

  • collections that genuinely work for our Dotique customers


Bringing Joules to Dotique has felt like the most natural next step and we can't wait! 

Why We Chose Chesterfield for the Launch

While you’ll be able to shop Joules online at dotique.co.uk, we knew immediately where its “home” needed to be: Dotique Chesterfield. You've already been loving the Joules Kids range at Dotique Peak Village and now it was time to go bigger.


Chesterfield has always been the heart of Dotique — our original store, our busiest location, and the place where customer feedback and real-life interaction guide so many of our buying decisions.


Joules is a brand with huge customer loyalty and everyday appeal, and our Chesterfield shoppers are exactly the women who will love this collection:

  • busy, stylish women who want reliable, feel-good pieces

  • customers who appreciate quality that lasts

  • women who favour practical elegance

  • dog walkers, countryside lovers, mums, commuters, weekend explorers


Joules simply belongs here.


And the timing — spring/summer 2026 — means Chesterfield will start the year with a beautiful new brand to enjoy.


How Joules Joined the Dotique Advent Calendar

One of our favourite parts of today’s announcement is that Joules wanted to be involved.


When we told them about our Advent Calendar — filled with local prizes, boutique brands, and customer treats — they didn’t hesitate. They offered the Joules Edie Bag in Berry Red, one of their bestselling shopper styles, as today’s giveaway prize.


Their enthusiasm meant so much to us. Large British brands don’t always say yes to small independents — yet Joules did. It felt like a lovely sign that this partnership was the right one.


And what better way to introduce them than through a gift for you?

The Joules Edie Bag (RRP £42)

The Edie Bag is a customer favourite for a reason:

  • lightweight but durable

  • roomy enough for everyday essentials

  • classic Joules styling

  • wipe-clean, practical fabric

  • beautiful berry red shade

  • smart faux-leather handles and buckle fastening

  • perfect for work, shopping, overnight stays or everyday use

It captures the essence of Joules: clever design, useful details, and that little pop of colour that makes an outfit feel cheerful.

And today, someone will win one.

Why We’re Excited to Bring Joules Into Dotique

This is more than adding another brand. It’s expanding what Dotique can offer to our customers.


Joules will be joining a family of brands that are already loved — from HV Society and Part Two to Oui, Monari, Red Button, Place du Soleil, Frank Lyman, Vilagallo, Soya Concept and more. Joules brings something new to the mix:

✔ Everyday lifestyle dressing

Perfect for those “I need something practical but still stylish” days.

✔ Colourful, uplifting pieces

A cheerful palette that balances our more classic collections.

✔ Outerwear that’s genuinely brilliant

Joules coats and jackets are famously good.

✔ Classic Breton tops

A timeless wardrobe staple done exceptionally well.

✔ Accessories that make great gifts

Bags, scarves, wellies — useful and stylish.

✔ British countryside heritage

A lovely complement to Dotique’s Derbyshire roots.

We’ve chosen styles that we know our customers will love — wearable, useful, great quality, and perfect for the Dotique way of dressing.

When Can You Shop Joules?

We’re putting the final touches to the launch, but Joules will be available very soon both:

  • In-store at Dotique Chesterfield

  • Online at dotique.co.uk
